Australia’s renowned Bondi Beach isn’t just a haven for surfers and sunbathers. It’s also lent
its name and coastal spirit to an award-winning gin – the Bondi Liquor Co Original
Dry Gin. This handcrafted spirit captures the essence of Bondi in every sip, offering a taste
of sunshine and sophistication.
The Original Dry Gin embodies the beach’s unique character. Imagine the feeling of warm
sand between your toes, the invigorating ocean breeze, and the vibrant energy of Bondi’s
cafes and bars. The Bondi Original Dry Gin translates these sensory experiences into a liquid
masterpiece.
Award-Winning Excellence
The Bondi Original Dry Gin isn’t just about capturing a vibe. It’s a serious contender in the world
of gin, having secured the Gold Medal at the prestigious 2021 Australian Distilled Spirits
Awards. This recognition speaks volumes about the dedication to quality and the exceptional
taste profile achieved by the Distilling Company.
A Celebration of Botanicals
The secret to the Bondi Original Dry Gin’s success lies in its unique blend of botanicals. While
the exact recipe remains a closely guarded secret, we do disclose it features classic gin
botanicals alongside some unexpected Australian twists. Juniper, coriander, angelica root,
and citrus peels provide the foundation, building a familiar yet intriguing base.
The Australian touch comes in with the subtle addition of native botanicals. Imagine the
refreshing aroma of lemon myrtle mingling with the warmth of vanilla bean, all balanced by
the zesty tang of blood orange. These carefully chosen botanicals create a complex yet
harmonious flavour profile, perfect for gin purists and adventurous cocktail enthusiasts alike.
Bondi on the Rocks (or In Your Cocktail)
The Bondi Original Gin’s versatility is another reason for its popularity. Enjoy it neat on a hot
summer day to fully appreciate the symphony of botanicals. The smooth finish and balanced
citrus notes make it a refreshing sipping experience.
For a taste of the Bondi nightlife, Bondi Original Gin shines in classic cocktails like the Gin &
Tonic or the Martini. The subtle sweetness from the vanilla bean complements tonic water
beautifully, while the citrus notes pair perfectly with dry vermouth in a martini.
But don’t be afraid to get creative! The Bondi Original Gin serves as a fantastic base for a
multitude of cocktails. Explore your inner mixologist and experiment with fresh fruit, herbs,
and other botanicals to create your own signature Bondi-inspired drinks.
A Price Tag that Reflects Quality

the quality ingredients, the award-winning pedigree, and the unique taste experience, it
offers excellent value for money. It’s an investment in a versatile spirit that can enhance your
home bar and impress your guests.
